Overview of Cisco IEC-6400 Gateway
Identifying Gateway Mesh Capability
Although the wireless access points can be configured in both Mesh Point and Mesh End modes, the IEC-6400
gateway can only be configured as a Mesh End. Irrespective of its configuration and operational mode, each
gateway is shipped from the factory with a unique mesh identification (ID) number (also called the Mesh ID),
and it is in the form of 5.a.b.c.
The triplet a.b.c uniquely identifies the individual physical hardware gateway. The Mesh ID number serves
as the identifier for the configurator interface that is used to configure the gateway. The mesh ID number is
permanent and cannot be changed.
IEC-6400 Gateways
The IEC-6400 gateway is deployed at the data center level to ensure IP address reachability throughout the
entire network. The gateway has total three LAN interfaces (see
• One dedicated to CIMC management port (port 9) to access the CIMC CLI
• Two dedicated ethernet data ports (ports 10 and 11) to access the gateway's GUI and CLI
The gateway and all other edge gateways must be provided with a private LAN IP address, and they are
accessed through the private IP addresses.
